I am leaving today for a weekend at Disney World. In honor of my weekend with Mickey, here is a picture of my stockings.I love Disney this time of year. It is so festive.

I am going with my sons girlfriend and my daughter. My son's girlfriend hasn't been since she was 1 year old. I think she needs a break, some pixie dust and needs to see the parks with people who know how to do them justice. My daughter and I know them like the back of our hands. We are staying with friends this trip. They can't wait to spend time with us and visa versa.

Have an awesome weekend everyone.Now what kind of stockings do you and your family hang up?

ARE WE HAVING FUN YET?

The kids are having Thanksgiving at their house. I am thrilled that I don't have to cook. I really don't like the smell of cooking turkey. Plus their place is much bigger. I will bring pies ifthey want me to. And my cameras. I always take pictures on Thanksgiving for the holiday cards.And I don't have to pay for the dinner. Caching. Thank you kids.

Now on to Christmas shopping. I think I am just going to give them some of my photography.I am also going to suggest that we all get creative this holiday season. I really don't think we all needmore stuff. Unless someone wants to give me my dream camera. Which I will not refuse. But I won't hold my breath.

I am really not looking forward to the holiday season. For me getting together during Thanksgiving and Christmas is alwaysstressful. But I see my kids all the time when everyone is relaxed and not stressed for the Holidays.

My idea of the perfect Thanksgiving is a nice long peaceful ride on my bike. A beach day, spent reading with my toes in the sand. I don't eat out ever on holidays. I waited tables for too many years. High prices, inferior food. Cranky people.

Wait. I can go for a long ride on my bike. I can go to the beach. I don't have to cook. Ahhhh.

HAPPY NOVEMBER!!!!!!

So my question for you is this:

ARE YOU LOOKING FORWARD TO THE HOLIDAY SEASON?

Halloween has come and gone. Quietly for me. We didn't have any trick or treaters. Not a single child was seen in a costume in my neighborhood. I hear some neighborhoods were crazy busy. But not mine. My boys said they had only 1 child. They were disappointed. We were also under Tropical storm warnings with high winds and fast moving rain. Not like my Halloweens as a child for sure.

Christmas decorations are already out on the shelves. Thanksgiving is almost totally overlooked. My kids want to host Thanksgiving. I am totally letting them. I will gladly bake the pies, etc. I really dislike the smell of cooking turkey. I also put up my Christmas decorations with my family on Thanksgiving weekend. Then we take a family picture and send it out with the Christmas cards.

As for Christmas gifts this year. I want everything kept within reason. I tend to go over board. I really want the true meaning of Christmas to make it back. I know my daughter will be hopping on a plane the day after Christmas and joining her Dad in New Jersey. A little Babci time. (Polish for Grandmother). Then returning on the 30th.

About Me

I don't want to grow up. I have a pretty sweet life riding my 2009 Harley Fat Bob. Going to the beach as often as possible. I love my grown children and my pets. I prefer to be behind the lens of a camera. It's fun.
I love to travel. But I need a new traveling companion. I lost my beloved Grams this year. So now I need someone to go have some fun exploring.
I am a total gym and health nut. Working out and eating right keeps me sane. And looking and feeling good.
